# Which admissions and enrollment management solutions streamline legacy system consolidation most effectively?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, I've been pulling together a comparison of <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/admissions-and-enrollment-management">admissions and enrollment management</a> solutions for a team that is mid-way through consolidating off several legacy systems, and the consolidation question is harder to answer clearly than the feature comparisons suggest. The tools that look equivalent on a feature list can differ significantly in how smoothly they absorb the workflows an old system has been running for years.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Four platforms that come up most specifically in the legacy consolidation context:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/adapt-it-wisenet/reviews"><strong>Wisenet</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Full compatibility with existing systems described in reviews as a reason implementation is fast and secure; the integrated applications cover the learner journey from enquiry to graduation without requiring separate tools for each stage.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/blackbaud-enrollment-management-system/reviews"><strong>Blackbaud Enrollment Management System</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Moves applications, inquiry forms, school forms, and checklists from paper and disparate systems into one digital platform; reviewers specifically describe replacing physical QR-code-based inquiry forms and paper applications as the consolidation that saved their admissions teams the most time.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/finalsite-enrollment/reviews"><strong>Finalsite Enrollment</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Integrates admissions, enrollment, and tuition management so that when a student enrolls, financial details carry automatically into the tuition account without manual re-entry across systems.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/openeducat/reviews"><strong>OpenEduCat</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Open-source enrollment management covering admissions, academics, and operations from a single platform, used by institutions replacing disconnected point solutions with one system.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For institutions that have completed a legacy system consolidation in this category: what was the hardest data migration step, and did the new platform handle historical record import cleanly or did that require a parallel run?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;You&#39;ve named the real gap: tools that look equivalent on a feature list differ a lot in how cleanly they absorb workflows that an old system ran for years. Historical record import is usually where consolidation gets painful, and a parallel run is often the safety net that teams underestimate. Worth asking not just whether data migrates, but whether the old workflow logic survives the move or has to be rebuilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
